This was precisely what I was looking for...a description AND demonstration of the different transmission types. Thank you.

Exactly what i needed to see about the different transmissions.

Best video I've seen so far to show transmission types

Really good video, especially the explanation of how it's different from a stick in a car.

This is the most clear explanation and demonstration of tractor use and transmission types.

thanks! my questions answered!

Great informative video thank you.

Great video, I’m impressed how you took time to explain. I did actually wanted only hst vs power shuttle but no question is dumb.

very useful, thank you.

Great Job watching from Arkansas

Really helpful - thanks

Excellent informative video.

Love my Kioti 3510SE HST!

Good Demo!

Thanks very good info

Thank you, awesome to the point video.

Thank you this vid... it was very good and helped me make a decision.

Very helpful.

Very interesting informations. Thank !!

It is hard to say which I like better. When it comes to using a bucket loader or when you have to do some extreme maneuvering, hydrostatic is the name of the game. But when it comes to towing or pulling, I would prefer a manual since it doesn't slip or wear out as fast. I use both here on the farm and I feel like the preferences between manual and hydrostatic greatly depends on the application the tractor will be doing. That's just my two cents.

Mahindra. For when you thought Chinese manufacturing was low quality, India is here to teach you how it's really done if you have minimum work ethic and maximum hatred of your customers.

Still thanking you in 9/2020

Absolutely love my Kubota L3800 standard transmission tractor. It's a workhorse.

I love the kubota hydrulic shuttle wich doesnt have to use clutch

Great info - thanks Marshall. Questions regarding the operation of the power shuttle on hilly/mountainous terrain... (I know the transmissions you've discussed do not include the power shuttle but this seemed the best place to ask my questions as I haven't found any videos discussing power shuttles vs other transmissions). Suppose you are stopped on a steep hill, engine running, nose pointing straight up the hill. Must you brake to remain stopped or will the shuttle hold you in place while it's in the neutral position? Now suppose you want to move forward up the hill... What is the sequence of clutch, brake, and shuttle operations to change gear (different range or speed) and move forward up the hill? If the brake is involved, must it be released gradually only as the tractor begins to move forward in order to prevent the tractor from rolling backward first? Is the sequence different if you don't need to change gear? Regardless of whether the gear must be changed, is it possible to cause excessive wear or damage to the clutch or other components in this situation (for example if the selected gear was too high for the slope or throttle was set too low)? Is there any difference if the nose is pointing down the hill and you want to back up the hill? Is there any difference when in 2wd vs 4wd? Any dependencies on traction conditions? Now suppose the tractor is heavily loaded and you are descending the steep hill (either forward or reverse) at an arbitrary speed (sane or otherwise). What is the sequence of clutch, brake, and shuttle operations to come to a stop? What is the sequence to change direction? Change range or gear? Is there a period wherein the transmission is in neutral or clutch is disengaged such that the tractor gains speed? Is there any risk the transmission will not engage the next gear/range/direction, or the clutch will not re-engage? Is it possible to cause excessive wear or damage to the clutch or other components in this situation? Is a manual shuttle better suited to these scenarios? If yes, why? Is a hydrostatic transmission better suited to these scenarios? If yes, why? From what I've read in forums, an HST (hydrostatic transmission) is better suited to navigating hilly terrain and (if true) I would get an NX6610 with HST and wouldn't be so concerned about the details of the shuttle transmissions... But for most of the work I would like to do, the larger RX series tractors, with shuttle options only, are more suitable. Note that I'm as much (if not more) interested in reliability/longevity concerns as I am in operational concerns. I've gotten by with a Ford 851 powermaster (2wd w/ good clutch but touchy brakes) in these scenarios, and so have become pretty proficient with dual brakes, clutch, and non-synchro transmission.... but hoping that tens of thousands of dollars will buy me something not so hard on my nerves. :-) Thanks in advance... I know these are very detailed questions that will be a pain to answer comprehensively and clearly, but I haven't been able to find the info elsewhere, and I'm sure many folks have similar questions.

Great video Marshal!! Invest in a muffled microphone blue toothed to the camcorder it’ll help make your videos better

Interesting to see Kioti offers a tractor with no shuttle shift and for a few more buy the Shuttle or the Hydro cause in loader ops you will cycyle faster and less operator Fatigue unless your doing work with rear implements all the time would be fine with no shuttle

Thanks so much for the very comprehensive demo, I have been agonizing over this decision. Everybody says, "it depends on what applications you will use the tractor for", but that isn't very helpful, since I need it for a wide variety of applications. I worry about the power loss with HST, but you said it's only 1 HP or so. I also worry about clutch replacement, and the possible wearing out of an HST tranny. Hmmmm, decisions decisions, lol.

Great video. How much for the cab Kioti ??

The second one you shown you can shift as you go?

On a shuttle shift, once your in a a range and gear the purpose of the shuttle is to go forward to reverse without using the cluch. The ability to go forward to reverse of a hydro but the fuel savings of a gear trans. Plus for every forward gear you have an equal number of reverse gears.

Nice video, and thank you, but you've got to get a wireless mic for your video... couldn't watch it at work as I had to keep adjusting my volume on my computer.

What happens on a standard transmission if you're on a hill and put the clutch in? Will it start rolling or stay still til you put it in whatever gear you want?

Straight standard seemed smoothest clutching.

I personally like shuttle shift I've driven a john deere 4710 and it was super easy to drive and I didn't have to use clutch every time I shifted just for first

I could get the job done with any of the transmission type's but I strongly prefer HST.

Do all the DaeDong engines sound like they have a rod knocking?The kioti 2610 sound like it has a rod knocking.

Power reversar tractor best for agriculture purpose or regular models

I would like to see a pulling test with same model of tractor, tires. Hydro vs Gear. I would say the Gear will outperform on pulling compared to the Hydro.

Putting the brake and the hydro treadle on the same side makes using left/right brake impractical. It's very handy to be able to use braking on one side when making tight turns or when directing a floating blade over snow, since steering often doesn't work in that case. So why do they put the brakes and the treadle on the same side??? I wouldn't notice this except that my tractor (different brand) has the same setup.

Somebody get this kid a remote microphone.

Power shift!

Hydrostat for loader work. Its just faster for changing from forward to reverse. Hydrostatic is the automatic transmission of tractors. Just move your foot to change from forward to reverse. You want a cruise control for field work with hydrostatic, otherwise you have to hold the pedal the whole time. Manual can be brought to speed, let go of the throttle lever and it will run that speed until it hits something or runs out of fuel. This is great for mowing a large pasture.

That Kioti sounds like it was knocking. Yikes.

He didn't explain properly. Hydrostatic doesn't just take horsepower away from your PTO. It removes all moving parts that will wear, no transmission, no brakes, no brake pads to change out, etc. It's a great concept. The problem is in execution. China, India, and other third world countries hate their customers with a passion, so they put zero work ethic in. Their products will still break, even things designed to last forever. And when a hydrostatic system goes it will cost you a LOT. Maybe more than the wear and tear it saves. So you can't get a cheap-o one and expect to save money long term. Look at lawn mowers, ride ons. Many of them are HST. And the first thing to fail in the first year of ownership? The HST. And it'll cost you 25-50% of the bloody buy price to repair.

Which one will last the longest

Clutching for a shuttle? Not a shuttle lol

"brush hogging"

On a side note those Kioti engines sound terrible.

Speak into the microphone next time.
